Angel Exit Theatre present The Secret Garden in Ledbury

12:20pm Saturday 11th February 2012 in Theatre & Comedy

ACCLAIMED physical theatre company Angel Exit Theatre brings its new adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s much-loved classic, The Secret Garden, to Ledbury’s Market Theatre on Saturday, February 18.

Angel Exit unearths the dark heart of The Secret Garden, which sees spoilt orphan, Mary Lennox, plucked from the bright vibrancy of India in 1899 and transplanted to a mysterious old house full of secrets on the grey Yorkshire moors. As Mary battles loneliness she encounters locked doors, a curious robin, hidden keys, and strange cries ringing down the corridor.

Presented in Angel Exit’s rich visual style and blending ensemble storytelling with striking physicality, beautiful puppets, haunting songs and an original soundtrack, The Secret Garden is performed by an ensemble of five.

“The story is about grief and about how people push through it, keep going, and eventually grow,” says the director.

Tickets are £12 (£4 students) from The Master’s House, St Katherine’s car park, on 01432 383663, out of hours on 07967 517125 or at themarkettheatre
